A better driver on a short course with a slow car can beat a worse driver in a faster car on a short course with no trouble at all. Happens all the time in autocross, which I assume this effectively was. I beat Corvettes with my Spitfire on several occasions - Mario Andretti behind the wheel I am better than the old…

Oh yes it is!

Nah this is more Ed Bolian’s bag, he has bought and fixed several flood cars. For a while he was even trying to get his hands on that flood Bugatti from Texas.  But like he mentioned when it comes to flood cars salt water is WAY worse than fresh water.

I want to see every Type-S in yellow

I too feel on fire when I have too much Cayenne

And I spent the weekend at my brother’s wake and funeral and all the attendant family drama that accompanies these occasions. I wish I’d been drunk. I got a laugh out of your mistake and it help. So I sincerely sincerely thank you for that.

Well fuck me. We’re all wrong and assholes.

+1000. It doesn’t even have to be the *right* day for a Miata, weather wise. Any day with no rain between 50 and 90 degrees (or hotter with some cloud cover) is prime Miata time. It sounds like pure hype to the uninitiated, but when you’re top down and moving, you just don’t give a shit about anything else. It’s…

Buy a Golf R, the new Mk8 has a manual option. It looks better in person, the only downside seems to be the UX systems. But IMO it’s still better then the Subaru.

Buy a lightly used M240i xDrive? You can get them with a manual gearbox.

their little chew-toy of a term which we let them use as a self-identifying marker of an idiot.

This is some breathtaking grift. It threads the needle between “idiots dreaming of a conservative utopia” and “mildly technical Roganbro” beautifully. Chances are that they won’t deliver anything and will disappear into the ether with a few hundred grand. Should the product actually see the light of day, though, it is…

“a device named after cuckolding and that does... something indiscernible no one can figure out.”

“raise nearly $172,000 on crowdfunding site Indiegogo”

That’s what it does.  That’s all it does.

A Miata of this vintage should have a lift kit, or toy dinosaurs glued to it. Is should be flat black and electric green.

Never buy someone else’s project, but especially never buy someone else’s unfinished project. 

I just bought an older STi, and I would still jump at the opportunity to drive an ‘07 Elantra with a manual.

Their blue is beautiful to.

Allow me an analogy: You walk into a Quiznos and see a guy leave half of a perfectly good Italian sandwich just... sitting there. There’s nothing wrong with it. The sandwich was clearly cut in half, and aside from being a little rough from the unwrapping process, that’s half of a good sandwich. It even still has the…

So, you might say he went on a “Kessel run”?
